[0032] Further, the ejector ventilation system 8 in the embodiment is as shown in FIG. 6. Figure 2As shown, the ejector 801, the ejector driving water tank 802 and the water pump 803 are connected in series through the internal water pipe to form a circulating water circuit, the ventilation inlet of the ejector is connected with the second double-wall pipe through the second ventilation pipe, the ventilation outlet of the ejector is connected with the ventilation outlet through the second ventilation pipe, the outflow end of the ejector, the ejector driving water tank, the water pump and the inflow end of the ejector are connected in series through the internal water pipe to form a circulating water circuit, the ammonia detector 804 is arranged on the ejector driving water tank and the side of the second ventilation pipe close to the ejector, and the medium cooling system is connected with the ejector driving water tank, and is used for cooling the medium in the internal water pipe.

[0033] Specifically, the operation principle of the ejector ventilation system in the embodiment is as follows: In the ejector ventilation system, the ejector 801, the ejector driving water tank 802 and the water pump 803 are connected in series through the internal water pipe to form a circulating water circuit, the water pump is operated to generate power, so that the high-pressure water with a pressure of about 1.0 MPa in the internal water pipe forms a high-speed jet through the nozzle of the ejector, the high-speed jet forms a local low pressure at the ventilation outlet of the ejector, so that air is sucked into the second ventilation pipe, and the air is continuously sucked into the second ventilation pipe to generate the air extraction effect with the continuous operation of the water pump.

[0034] Regarding the selection of the water pump and the ejector in the ejector ventilation system, the type of the water pump and the ejector in the ejector ventilation system is selected according to the required ventilation volume and static pressure of the ventilation pipe, and the water pump and the ejector are selected according to the displacement and pressure of the driving water.

[0035] Normally, there is no ammonia in the circulating water circuit in the ejector ventilation system, if a small amount of ammonia is mixed into the ejector driving water tank during long-time operation, the ammonia detector arranged on the ejector driving water tank can detect the presence of ammonia water in the circulating water circuit, and measure the ammonia water concentration in the circulating water circuit, when the ammonia water concentration in the circulating water circuit reaches 10 ppm, an alarm will be given to remind the system to perform water replacement treatment.

[0036] At the same time, due to the increase of the temperature of the circulating water in the circulating water circuit of the ejector ventilation system during long-time operation, a water glycol cooling system is arranged in the embodiment to cool the circulating water in the circulating water circuit by using water glycol to reduce the temperature of the circulating water.

[0037] Specifically, the operation principle of the ammonia fuel sealed double-wall pipe ventilation system in the embodiment is as follows: When the main engine is operated under the ammonia model, the ammonia fuel sealed double-wall pipe ventilation system is normally operated, the ventilation volume is 30 times / hour, the ventilation flow direction is that the air is introduced through the ventilation inlet or the pressure regulating valve of the compressed air system, enters the ejector ventilation system through the three-way valve of the second ventilation pipe, is discharged to the ventilation outlet 16 m away from the main deck through the ejector ventilation system, and is discharged through the ventilation outlet.

[0038] Because the ammonia fuel sealed double-wall pipe ventilation system in the embodiment is provided with two air inlets, when the air outside the cabin is dry, the air inlets can suck air from outside the cabin, and when the air outside the cabin is humid, the air inlets can suck dry compressed air from inside the cabin.

[0039] Open the related valves on the first ventilation pipeline and the second ventilation pipeline, close the ninth pneumatic electromagnetic valve on the third ventilation pipeline, open the fan, measure the outlet air speed of the ejector ventilation system, calculate the ventilation volume according to the air speed, and adjust the size of the orifice plate according to the measured data of the flowmeter so that the ventilation volume is 30 times per minute. After the ventilation volume is adjusted, open the compressed air inlet valve, i.e. the ninth pneumatic electromagnetic valve on the third ventilation pipeline, and adjust the size of the orifice plate so that there is a small amount of ventilation overflow at the original outdoor ventilation inlet, which can also be seen from the flow direction of the flowmeter; check the flow switch at the outlet of the ventilation box, which is used to detect the state of the ventilation system.

[0040] Considering that ammonia leakage may occur during the operation of the main engine in ammonia mode or during the purging process, in order to monitor the ammonia leakage, various types of sensors are provided in the ammonia fuel sealed double-wall pipe ventilation system to detect ammonia leakage. At the same time, in order to detect ammonia vaporization, an ammonia sensor is also provided on the second ventilation pipeline to monitor any possible ammonia leakage that may vaporize into the annular space.

[0041] For the treatment of small ammonia leakage, when small ammonia leakage occurs, the liquid level sensor will not trigger an alarm, and at this time only the ammonia sensor provided on the second ventilation pipeline can identify the slight ammonia vapor leakage. When ammonia gas leakage is detected, the ammonia fuel sealed double-wall pipe ventilation system will dilute the ammonia gas until it reaches a safe concentration for discharge, at which time the main engine switches to diesel mode, the ammonia supply system stops supplying, and the system is purged.

[0042] For the treatment of large ammonia leakage, when large amounts of ammonia gas leak, the leakage is so large that the ammonia will not vaporize quickly, at which time the annular space is filled with liquid ammonia, and the liquid level sensor provided inside the main engine detects the liquid ammonia leakage, and once the liquid level sensor detects the liquid ammonia leakage, it will automatically trigger a purge, first using 30 bar nitrogen to purge the ammonia supply pipe, then using 30 bar nitrogen to purge the annular space, and then using 3 bar nitrogen to purge the annular space, and then performing negative pressure exhaust on the annular space.

[0043] Specifically, for the purging of the ammonia supply pipe (i.e. the inner pipe), once the liquid level sensor detects ammonia leakage, the ammonia supply is immediately stopped, and at the same time the emergency purge is started, using 30 bar nitrogen to purge the ammonia supply pipe. During the purging process, the nitrogen will purge the liquid ammonia in the ammonia supply pipe to the annular space, until the purging of the ammonia supply pipe is stopped when the leakage is over, and the purging of the annular space inside the double-wall pipe continues.

[0044] For the annular space purging, access 30bar nitrogen, close the first pneumatic solenoid valve and the third pneumatic solenoid valve, nitrogen will the liquid ammonia in the upper end of the annular space purged to the two lowest points of the tenth pneumatic solenoid valve and the eleventh pneumatic solenoid valve, purged to the ammonia leakage outlet of the FVU unit, then through the DBB valve on the FVU unit back to the water tank of the ammonia head cooling unit, after completing the upper end pipeline purging of the annular space, the next operation will be performed.

[0045] Close the nitrogen pipe in the air inlet pipeline, through the 30bar nitrogen in the air outlet pipe, through the tenth pneumatic solenoid valve to purge the liquid ammonia in the annular space to the water tank, after purging, close the tenth pneumatic solenoid valve.

[0046] Repeat the liquid ammonia from the inner tube, in the previous step of purging the annular space, some ammonia can be blown back to the inner tube, therefore, it is necessary to purge the inner tube again, the liquid ammonia in the inner tube is blown back to the ammonia collection pipe.

[0047] After performing the above steps, the residual amount of leakage is very small, and can be volatilized.

[0048] After purging the inner tube and the annular space, ammonia gas purging is performed on the inner tube and the annular space, using 3bar nitrogen to purge the residual ammonia in the annular space to the ammonia treatment and recovery system through the ventilation inlet, when the ammonia sensor monitors that the ammonia concentration meets the standard, the three-way valve can be turned to the ejector ventilation system side, the nitrogen supply is closed, the air inlet is opened, the ventilation system is started, and the annular space is ventilated.

[0049] Of course, the above description is not a limitation of the present application, the present application is not limited to the above examples, the changes, modifications, additions or replacements made by the person skilled in the art within the essential scope of the present application should also belong to the protection scope of the present application.
